I need a new front sight

All right all you technical guys. I need a new front sight for this gun.

The problem with this gun is that it is a target pistol, and is set up from the factory for a “6 o’clock hold”

This would be great if I was planning on shooting bullseye with this pistol, but I am not. In order to make the bullet impact close to where I am aiming, I had to dial in 16 clicks down on the rear sight. This buried the rear sight, and still didn’t get me all the way on target. You can see that I did shoot reasonably close to the target, but I was still aiming a bit low to get this

What I need is a taller front sight. Does anyone know where to get a slightly taller front sight for a Ruger 22/45 Mark III (P512MKIII)?

You could either file your current fs down to raise poi to poa , or you might try replacement with a short front sight . Tactical solutions has both the light pipe and black sights http://www.tacticalsol.com/tshome/category/ts-sights as an example . Or hit midway or brownells for a shorter sight .

@ Sean: Please do! I need to get a fiberoptic front sight for my Mk III, and if those fit it the price seems right. I probably would need the regular one, though – I like how mine is sighted in right now, I just have a hard time distinguishing the front sight against a black target.
